Challenge/Battle/Alert: May - Textbook: Guts & Glory! (skeletal)Team/Ninja: NinjaProject Geekdom (if any): DiscworldBonus Points: Nerdy(skull is part of my PhD research)Project Name: Coyote skull cork broadProject Page Link (if available): Brief Description: This is a test piece for a larger more ambitious project; which will represent my research. It is a coyote skull. I am not happy with the way the holes in the cork absorbed the paint and the lack of detail in the incisors. I will have to make adjustments. This is why you test plans first.

Challenge/Battle/Alert: May - Fandom: Fanfic:Team/Ninja: NinjaProject Geekdom (if any): DiscworldBonus Points: Nerdy (Discworld)Project Name: Horseshoe crab worldProject Page Link (if available): Brief Description: This was the hardest challenge for me. Discworld is pretty complete. But it does not deal a lot with aliens except the Water Troll that patrols the Rim. So this is where I like to think he comes from. It is a planet of seas. A bubble of water, supported by 3 crabs, and riding on the back of a Giant Horseshoe Crab. It is a much older planet than the Disc World because Horseshoe Crabs are older evolutionarily than turtles. It is terribly drawn. There is no helping that I lack skills. But it is a really cool idea. The horseshoe Crab has meteorite scars that are the glitter.

I'm a big fan of coyote skulls (but moreso live coyotes), so I like your corkboard, I think the skull is very recognizable. And I love the idea of Horseshoe Crab World. Makes me want to craft something about horseshoe crabs, they are so cool!

Challenge: Multimedia - July: CompanionshipTeam: Team-Who-Must-Not-Be-NamedProject Geekdom: NoneBonus Points: Possibly Discovery. I've quilted before, but never tried the "single block design gets enlarged into a whole quilt" thing. I leave this to the Game Maker's discretion.Project Name & Page Link: Giant Star Block QuiltsBrief Description: Just like the Doctor always travels with a Companion, so sisters travel through life together. This pair of baby quilts was made for my cousin's two young daughters. (My second cousins.) They are the same pattern, but different colors, so each girl is individual. And even when the sisters are apart, they can always have their blanket companions with them.Project Picture:

It's something we hear all the time, and understand the meaning of, yet I know I for one frequently pick out books based on their covers! This little bookmark will hopefully remind me not to do that quite so much. It depicts the Weasley's flying Ford Anglia about to crash into the Whomping Willow.Project Picture:

Challenge: Randomizer - July: Our AncestorsTeam: Team-Who-Must-Not-Be-NamedProject Geekdom: NoneBonus Points: NoneProject Name: Hudson's Baby QuiltBrief Description: Quilts have been made by women for hundreds of years to bring warmth and comfort to their families.
